William Glenn Leatherwood

On Wednesday afternoon, February 19, 2020, William Glenn Leatherwood, 64, resident of the Glen Community, passed away unexpectedly of natural causes at North Mississippi Medical Center following a brief illness.

Darrin Stapleton will officiate and burial will follow in Lake Hill Memory Garden Cemetery near Bethel Springs, TN. Arrangements will be provided by The Ripley Funeral Home.
  Glenn was born May 28, 1955 in Selmer, TN, the son of the late William Melvin and Mary Magdalene Clayton Leatherwood. He was a graduate of McNairy Central High School and was married May 30, 1998 to his beloved wife, Barbara Sheffield Leatherwood who survives.
  A member of Antioch Church of Christ, Glenn was employed as a conveyor systems contractor as long as health permitted. His love for his family was unending and he was well known in the community as the biggest fan and pillar of support for the Alcorn Central Golden Bears. Watching his grandsons participate in sports for the Biggersville Lions also brought him much joy.
  Those who knew Glenn through the years will remember his quick wit, infectious smile, his wonderful ability to make friends easily and his zest for life. Reading, eating, westerns, "piddlin" outside and traveling were favorite pastimes. He leaves behind many memories to be cherished and his family finds comfort knowing they will meet again.
